IKEA furniture hack: Customise your MALM bedhead!

By Amy Collins-Walker โ€ข 1 Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

We love customisation and product hacking as much as the next person so when we first heard about STYLKEA we were pretty excited. Designed to make bargain furniture look expensive, the range lets you personalise classic IKEA furniture pieces using DIY peel-and-stick perspex panels.

And while the range previously allowed you to pimp your IKEA MALM bedside tables and chests, the brandโ€™s latest offering means your IKEA MALM bedhead can be transformed too with looks ranging from Hamptons to Hollywood Regency and more.

The IKEA MALM bedhead and bedside have never looked so good!

“We all want to live in beautiful, inspired spaces and our aim at STYLKEA is to give people an easy way to customise flat-pack pieces into the looks they love at a price they can afford. IKEA MALM beds are the perfect blank canvas to stamp your style on,” says STYLKEAโ€™s founder and owner Kylie Hughes.

The panels come in three size options designed to suit double, queen and king-sized IKEA MALM bedheads. The 3-millimetre metal, mirror-finish and ready-to-paint panels are manufactured in Australia and given the peel-and-stick adhesive is supplied thereโ€™s no tools or mess involved either. Genius!

STYLKEA

โ€œA lot of people have IKEA furniture thatโ€™s too good to get rid of, but theyโ€™re ready for a change. Our Styl-Panels allow you to elevate affordable flat-pack furniture from plain to whatever your design style might be.โ€

STYLKEA

To celebrate the launch, the bedhead kits are currently on sale for a limited time for a bargain price of $59.99.

Brothers Jack and Mark Fearon, of Australian desig Brothers Jack and Mark Fearon, of Australian design and fabrication company, @__fearon__ first started their business in 2019 as a creative outlet and antidote to their more commercial work.

Their pathway to design was somewhat unusual. Jack, a plumber by trade and Mark, a boilermaker, worked as industrial fabricators making large-scale water trucks.

Jack says heโ€™s conscious of making pieces that are sculptural, but also very usable. โ€œWe donโ€™t think our pieces are there just to look good,โ€ Jack says. โ€œWe love seeing our pieces in peopleโ€™s homes and in galleries, restaurants and hotels, with things all over them. Theyโ€™re for real life.โ€

FEARONโ€™s handmade pieces are aluminium and designed for longevity. Jack says the material choice means pieces are lightweight, easy to sculpt and entirely recyclable.

When her styling business took a hit, @vaultinteri When her styling business took a hit, @vaultinteriors decided to reduce her outgoings by moving to a tiny house. And we're not sure we've ever seen a more stylish one!

Although the move to a container home was motivated by financial pressures, Justine Wilson is loving her new simpler way of life.

Appliance colour trends: They've certainly change Appliance colour trends:

They've certainly changed over the years. Remember when ALL fridges were white?! I remember the original BROWN wall oven in our 60s kitchen here pre-reno! I think the dishwasher was brown and beige (and it tripped the electrics every time we used it!) ๐Ÿ˜œ

What do you think of this new dark stainless steel option (pictured) from Westinghouse as seen in @dnaofdesign_'s latest reno? Yay or nay? 

What colour do you like your appliances?

A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in th A door to door continuous curved stone ledge in this bathroom is one of the cleverest designs we've seen in a while!

This mega ledge, made of Corian, even incorporates a sink, seamlessly.

Combined with venetian plaster on the walls, it's no wonder this Illawarra bathroom by @birdblackdesign feels like a day spa!

Come check it out via link bio.

Lead designer Stuart Gibson says: "One smooth curve, right around the room, from either side of the door opening. As it moves around, it creates a ledge for the bath: for bath oils, lotions, a book and a champagne glass. The ledge continues around and becomes the vanity, widening out to create a custom seamless basin."
